I will simultaneously pitty and envy the dude that drops $30-40,000 on a full sized Cylon Raider. In other BSG news, the prequel series Caprica finally got a full season greelight with a 2 hour pilot/movie. Despite being set in the BSG universe (50 years earlier) it’s not supposed to feel like BSG at all. I will certainly give it a try, but I can see myself losing interest pretty quick if it ends up being “FAMILY DRAMA IN SPACE!” Will they maintain continuity and have the kid playing young Bill Adama fall face first into a meat grinder so that he can one day be played by Edward James Olmos?

So back to the props: if you could take any prop from a film or TV show and repurpose it for every day use, what would it be? Death Star chandelier? Planet of the Apes Statue of Liberty Coat Rack? Back to the Future DeLorean…Delorean (ya’ know, to drive and be awesome in)?

/second on the Tardis
Could be a Tardis closet or a Tardis actual phone booth or an actual Tardis Tardis.

K-9 would be a good second choice – he could follow me around and laser beam people with his nose as they cut in front of me in candy lines at theaters, cut me off in traffic or just generally upset me.

Plus, the kids could ride him, he';s a no-poop pet AND there has to be a beer bottle opener in there somewhere.

I still don't watch BSG and found it humorous enough anyhow. The concept is geeky enough and nothing that was BSG-specific is really all that specific to BSG; sfici is full of cyborgs, weird implants, vats of goo of indeterminate organic makeup, and jumping as a means of FTL travel.

I think being a cylon hybrid would be quite soothing. You get to stay in the bath all day and talk shit. It wasn't until I read this strip that I realised that's what I've been striving for all my life.

PS: if you both pity and envy someone who bought a cylon raider then do you pity or envy someone who dropped almost a million on the original hero model of the Enterprise D
because its envy all the way for me

I'd take "Magic Voice" from MST3K, and make her answer all the freakin' phone spam I get. And then maybe pair her up with Tony Stark's sexy British AI magic voice to play opposite as sort of a romantic tension counter. I'd pretty much have the phone and all my enternainmnet needs covered at that point…

So glad you like it. I actually havent seen one in person yet. Make sure you wash it on cold water (does Canada have hot water?) and not with your jeans like josh did. hes ruined all his HE shirts by washing them in lava against rocks.

If it makes you feel any better, I linked your webcomic to my friend's BSG fan site and everyone there has been posting about how much they like it, often using the Caps Lock and !!!'s to describe it. Alienate half, gain a couple cylons. IF you're curious, here's the link to your link: http://www.colonialfleet.org/quorum/index.php?sho…

i Strongly suggest you download the catalog from their site and look at the all the drool worthy swag. They are selling basically everything that ever appeard on the show, from uniforms to props, to set pieces to vipers. Its fucking epic.

I would probably want the Hatredcopter from Metalocalypse, I would probably use it as my house since it's certainly big enough. It would kick ass if it actually flew.

BTW Joel, my "Eh Team" shirt came by today and I love it!

It came at just the right time too, I just finished an exam today (Protein Structure yea!) and have two tomorrow (Immunology and Molecular Genetics wooo!) and it was great to have something cheer me up a bit from being so serious about studying.

I just wish it wasn't the winter up here so I could wear it outside. -15C with the wind up here in Ontario.

*cough* Joel, I run the Battlestar Wiki *cough* Joe spent over 3 months @ B.C. Canada working on the descriptions. There is two parts. One from Season 1 to Season 4. A second book, which is just as big will come out after Season 4.5 🙂

It is the catbus and it is made of awesome. It is a cat, and it is a bus, and it is from the awesome awesome awesome movie My Neighbor Totoro, by Miazaki and put out by Studio Ghibli. (also the people responsible for Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke and others.) It is an awesome kids' film, originally japanese. It's dubbed /really/ well into english.

Hellboy's gun as (surprize) a gun, that thing is probably larger than my head, and the kickback would shatter half the bones in my skinny-ass torso, but it would be AWESOME to get to shoot it just once.

Would have bought the mead vat from Banderas's 13th Warrior and turned it into a hot tub but just didn't have the cash. Still kinda regret it because it was the perfect size and had steps and everything. XD Would have just needed a little work (and to have the like 6" deep blue plastic liner removed haha). Oh well, we did get a bunch of furs and stuff dirt cheap.
